Of course the CentOS version has Thunderbird! I'm using it on K12LTSP
5EL right now to write this very email. Evolution is installed by
default, true, but T-Bird is most definitely in the Yum repositories.
Here's the proof from my own K12LTSP 5EL server.
[microman at takhisis ~]$ rpm -q thunderbird
thunderbird-2.0.0.19-1.el5.centos
[microman at takhisis ~]$
Just do a "yum install thunderbird", and you will be a happy ranchero. :-)
